When a professional vocalist wants more detail, more clarity, and more nuance than a dynamic microphone can deliver on stage, the Shure BETA87A is where they turn. This is a supercardioid electret condenser microphone built for demanding live sound, broadcast, and studio environments. It captures the full character of a voice with a transparency and accuracy that dynamic microphones simply cannot match and it does it with the rugged tour ready construction that Shure's BETA series is known for.

The supercardioid polar pattern is tighter than a standard cardioid which means better isolation of your vocal and superior rejection of off axis noise from monitors and the stage around you. On a loud stage with a lot going on that tighter pattern is a meaningful advantage. The smooth frequency response with a controlled presence peak gives you vocal clarity and definition that sits beautifully in a dense mix without sounding harsh or hyped. The 117dB dynamic range handles everything from a whisper to a belt without distortion. The built in low frequency roll off eliminates the proximity effect bass buildup that happens when you work close to the mic so your tone stays consistent regardless of your distance. The advanced shock mount cartridge reduces handling noise so moving around on stage stays clean in the PA. Requires 48V phantom power. XLR cable not included.
